Here is the House CS. You don't have to follow this format exactly, you just need to have the information displayed. Character CS to come soon. [hider=House CS code] [code][b]House Name:[/b] (Self explanatory, just don't use the bastard names for a region.) [b]House Words:[/b] (The slogan, motto or catchphrase that describes your house or its values.) [b]Coat of Arms:[/b] (Pictures or words, doesn't have to be complex.) [b]Seat:[/b] (Where is their main seat of power/castle? Can be region or old state/city.) [b]Titles:[/b] [list][*] (Crowns of the five kingdoms are called "Lords/Ladies" as they are all sworn to the King. Lord is also used to refer to whatever castles they control.) [*](The title of Sovereign is equivalent to Duke and Governor of an area, typically based upon a state of Old America.) [*](More honorific titles like "Wardens of the North" and "Chamberlin of the Mountains" are given out in recognition of service or achievement.)[/list] [b]History:[/b] (Short bit on the backstory of your house, are they an old, established lineage or an upstart cadet branch?) [b]Head:[/b] (Who is the head of the family at the moment? Just a name and maybe titles or epithets, don't describe them here.) [b]Heirloom:[/b] (Every great house has at least one valued artifact from a mythic weapon to a crown to something exotic. Try not to have too many.) [b]Traits:[/b] (What are some common traits in your house, physical or personality wise?) [b]Misc: [/b] (Other stuff you want to put down like traditions, alliances, rivalries, historic claims, cadet branches, vassal houses, number of living members, etc.) [b]Quote:[/b] (An in character summary quote that should be about your house and how people perceive them, can be an outsider or a member of the house. Entirely optional but fun.)[/code] [/hider] [hider=House CS example: House Ironwit] [color=00aeef][b]House Name:[/b][/color] House Ironwit [color=00aeef][b]House Words:[/b][/color] [i]"Strength beyond arms"[/i] [color=00aeef][b]Coat of Arms:[/b][/color] The golden Bell of Liberation of the Founders on a blue background (the Liberty Bell).

They claim to be descendants from Jefferson Ironwit, Spymaster of King Maximall Deveram and Lord of Seiyah who took the throne after King Maximall went mad. Jefferson in turn claimed lineage from noble house of Old America that survived the Reckoning.

[color=00aeef][b]Misc: [/b][/color] [list][*]As King-President, every year they make a "State of the Realm Adress" before all of the assembled lords of the Five Kingdoms. [*]They have two major cadet branches, House Ironwit-Verna in the Sunbelt and House Ironwit-Shore in the North. [*]After a civil war between the house for the Ivory Throne, half the house was banished across the river. Legends say that those banished became the Windstorm Kings and that they seek to one day reclaim their throne. [*]Most of the house is actually lactose intolerant or "milk shunned".[/list] [color=00aeef][b]Quote:[/b][/color] [i]"Careful what you say about the Ironwits lad, they say even the shadows listen on their behalf. Some claim that the last Deveram king went mad not because of the voices in his head, but the voices in the shadows."[/i] - Minor lord to their heir [i]"The Iron in Ironwit is not hyperbole, for it takes men of iron will and great ability to rule. Lesser folks will claim power corrupts. Power only corrupts if you are weak enough to let you. Our reign has proven thus for only has two of our numbers ever succumbed to that temptation. And none ruled long enough to produce an heir. We have made sure of it, personally.[/i] - An Ironwit King to an unnamed Lord [/hider]
